Even though it has Multiair engine, it's still manufactured by Mazda, it has to follow Mazda manufacturing standard and quality control parameters. Mazda is putting their reputation on the line here building the car for Fiat.

Jointly developed is a fancy way of saying, Fiat dumping a bunch of money on Mazda. I remember, one of the Mazda engineers said in an article that everything about 124 is designed by Mazda and get signed off by Fiat. What actually happened was that Fiat want the car to be modeled as modern 124 and use Multi-Air engine. Mazda materialized the idea.

A number of people (including myself) were ticked off at the D.C. auto show in late January. Fiat could have easily brought one to that show (it had already been displayed at L.A. and Detroit) but, for no sensible or credible reason, didn't. The (obviously embarrassed) Fiat reps just stood there and apologized.

This from a brand that has 2 model lines, the 500 and 500c, both of which don't sell in jack diddly squat numbers in this country. You'd think they'd be over the moon with any new product being sold in the usa.
